Cannot access virtual machine

Hi. Hope this makes sense... I have Parallels on my Mac. I was unsuccessful running it, and then realized I needed a "virtual machine," so installed a trial version of "IE 11 on Windows 8." All was well, but I failed to purchase the trial version before it expired. Now, when I try to access Windows, I get a window that says "Locked," and asks for a password. Any password I enter does not work. I'll try to attach a screenshot. I would like to access my Windows program again. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

There is no way to convert these Windows trial virtual machines to a non-expiring virtual machine. When the 90 days trial expires, your Windows virtual machine will stop working. There will be no option to re-activate it even using a commercial Windows key. You will lose access to your Windows applications and there will be no way to migrate it to another Windows virtual machine.

Please refer to this article for more info: http://kb.parallels.com/en/122641

I would recommend you to use Parallels Mounter, so you can at least copy important private files from Windows hard disk without starting virtual machine: http://kb.parallels.com/en/118738
